You must all be tired from your journey.
Let me offer you tea in place of wine for now.
After the battle, we can drink and make merry to our hearts' content.
Serve the tea!
Left Messenger Yang,
Apologies, but I took blood in place of tea
and injured one of your servants.
I, Wei Yixiao, will be sure to repay you later.
Between us there should be no talk of repayment.
The Bat King is here to help fight. I, Yang Xiao, can ask for nothing more.
As long as the Ming Cult has no leader, the infighting will not cease.
Let me ask you this: after the enemy is repelled who will you support as cult leader?
I will support whoever possesses the Holy Flame Tablets,
that has always been the rule of our cult.
So what's the point of asking me this?
Holy Flame Tablets?
They've been missing for close to 100 years!
So you're saying that as long as they don't resurface then the cult will have no leader?
It is precisely because the six sects know that we have no leader to direct us,
that we are split into several factions
that they dare to take advantage of us!
That's correct, without clear leadership, how can we repel attackers?
I don't care who is leader as long as we have one.
Even a deputy will do!
Yang Xiao, don't delay anymore.
We can't keep dragging out the appointment of a leader.
May I ask you all...
are you here today to help me repel the attackers
or to attack me?
Yang Xiao,
Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking.
As long as Ming Cult has no leader,
you, the Bright Left Messenger, are the highest in rank.
You just don't want to share power!
What a pity, though! Who listens to your commands?
Can you get the Five Element Factions to listen to your orders?
Do the Guardian Kings follow your lead?
Let's not even mention the Five Wanderers.
Us Five Wanderers don't even think much of you, the Bright Left Messenger!
Exactly!
I haven't the leisure to squabble with you.
If you don't intend to help defend the cult, then please leave
lest you are injured by accident.
All Ming Cult members are bound to defend her.
You can forget about being the supreme authority!
Then why don't we have you as cult leader?
The Ming Cult is all already split up into pieces.
If we have Great Cult Leader Zhou preside at the top, our Cult will be turned upside down. Now, that would be very interesting!
Yang Xiao, shut your stinking mouth!
Stop fighting before things escalate out of control
Stop messing around!
When did you learn my Icy Soft Palms?
We're all on the same side. Lets not take our own lives? Lets quickly withdraw our palms.
It's the Great Shift of Heaven & Earth skill.
Congratulations. No ill will. Please stop fighting.
We're all brothers so I don't want to harm you
If we can unite to repel the enemy
I am willing to pretend all this never happened
To prevent any accidental injuries, we'll withdraw our palms simultaneously, on the count of three.
One
Two
Quickly, let me out
Left Herald's command is that Miss does not get involved
Don't you realize that the Five Wanderers have bad blood with my father?
What if they ally together to conspire against him, aren't you worried?
Ming cult is facing a powerful external enemy
They're here to defend not kill each other
Bullshit
If they really understood that
then Ming cult wouldn't be in this state to begin with!
What's the matter, speechless? Quickly let me out.
Miss, forgive me but I cannot
Well done! If anything happens to my father I'll be sure to kill you first!
Left Herald definitely lives up to his reputation
Even after taking 2 strikes of my Magical Yin Finger you are still able to stand
What's this finger-flicking skill from Shaolin and Magical Yin Finger?
Shaolin Sect does not have this kind of sinister and ruthless martial art.
Who are you?
What exactly is your purpose here?
I am a disciple under Reverend Kong Jian
My title is Yuan Zhen
You should consider yourselves fortunate that you are able to die at the hands of Shaolin.
Reverend Kong Jian's kindness and chivalry was widely known throughout the world
and yet you utilise such despicable skills
I'll clean his house on his behalf
Suprise attacks and deception are all considered fair in war since antiquity
You Six Great sects oppose our Ming cult but don't have the honour to face us in a fair battle?
And fight to the death?
People like you that attack someone's back...
I singlehandedly defeated 7 of Ming cults top fighters
aren't those odds enough to humble you?
You've all been struck by my Magical Ying Finger. Within 3 days you'll be in your Western Paradise.
When the Heavenly Eagle Cult, Five Elements Factions and others get here I will ignite gunpowder I buried
extinguishing your demon fire
Smoke will billow and your fire will be extinguished
And your arrogant Demon Cult will vanish without a trace
We get it. Lower your voice lest you anger me
Continue directing your anger at me, the more vicious your attacks the happier I get
Within the Ming Cult, the masters are as numerous as the clouds.
If you did not fight each other and disintegrate to pieces, how would there be such disastrous destruction?
The idiom goes: when heaven sins it is forgiven but if man sins he invites his own end.
I can’t believe the Ming Cult, with its awe-inspiring prestige in the former days, will end up like this after your cult leaders death.
Monk
I deserve to die
I wronged you, even though your character is not too good
at least if you were cult leader it would still be better than not having one, disintegrated into pieces and totally routed
I, Yang Xiao am not worthy
perhaps our conflicts were too deep
Oh now you are regretful?
It's a shame it is too late!
Back when your leader was still alive, your cult was insufferably arrogant
It's a pity he died so early and cannot personally witness your disgraceful defeat
You're shameless!
You have no shame! Such a vicious and petty person.
If cult leader Yang were still alive, everybody would obey his orders! Do you think you could succeed today?
Whether your Yang Dingtian is alive or dead I will have my ways to ruin his life and make his reputation crumble
Yuan Zhen, my men were on guard outside, how did you evade all detection to sneak in here?
I utilised your secret tunnel to get in here
Shut your mouth
Your stinking mouth offends me
The tunnel is sacred and it's location a well guarded secret
only used by the cult leader. Not even I nor the Bat King can enter
How did you know about it?
It seems that unless I reveal this then you won't be able to rest in peace
In that case I'll tell you the truth
It was your cult leader Yang Dingtian and his wife that took me up Bright Peak
The tea is poisoned
Miss, Miss
Enjoy your rest
Oh there you are, Miss
To think I always spoke up for you
and always protected you
My father was right after all. You really are a spy!
I am honestly not a spy.
You took me in and cared for me
How could I repay kindness with reprisal?
Stop pretending
You were imprisoned. How on earth were you now in my room?
Speak the truth and I'll spare your life
I'm innocent
I just went to see if you had gone to sleep yet.
Have you been conspiring against Ming cult all this time?
Speak
Who sent you?
No one. No one. I wasn't...
Lets go. Into my room.
Yuan Zhen, our master has been missing for an extended period so you must be talking nonsense
Believe it or not, everything I said was true.
Master Shoubude
Little Brother
What's wrong with you
We are all injured and can't move
You have to save us
How can i save you?
i'm trapped in this bag
I can't get my hands out
My qiankun bag
is tied with dry knot
except me
No one can unlock
You can try to stand up
Stand up
Alright
Yes
Stand up
Go forward
Kill this evil
You want me to kill him
Little Brother
You give up to save the sharp gold flag
The lives of dozens of brother
Yiwi Yuntian admires everyone
Let's take a few lives
It's all about saving you
You went to sacrifice this evil
Our entire Ming Sect
will be eternally grateful
The relationship between your sect and Shaolin
I honestly do not want to interfere with
That monk is already injured
I don't wish to resolve things this way
This man is dangerous
his words just now
You heard them all
Killing him would be an act of righteous
and what a warrior should do.
I cannot move at all now.
If you kill me now,
you will become a joke in the martial art world.
Your Shaolin Sect
also claims to be a famous righteous sect.
You also become a joke
by attacking us from the dark.
Little brother, listen to me
Kill him with one strike
and I, Zhou Dian, will do my best to repay you.
You, the Monk with the Sack, brought him up here
with bad intentions.
You won't treat him too well either!
Besides, he is not part of your demonic cult.
If he helps you,
it is like to assist for the devil.
Whose help?
I will suck this thief's blood dry
Little Brother
if you don't kill him now,
I am afraid he would kill you too once he gains his energy back.
I have no bad blood with this young fellow.
I won't hurt him.
Master Shoubude
Is there any way...
neither to kill this monk
nor to harm you all?
Little brother, how about this?
If you could just lock his 'Yu Tang' pressure point
then you won't be harming him
We will then escort him down the Mountain
OK?
Alright
Young Master, don't believe what they say
if you seal my pressure point
Yes, you won't injure me
But as soon as they recover,
they will kill me
Oh Yuanzhen...
Your rotten mouth is so stinky it's unbearable
you think us 5 Wanderers are like you?
That's also possible
Each person here is a hero and warrior of the day
how can they break their own words
Reverend Yuanzhen
I just want the best for both sides
I sincerely apologize
Yes, straight ahead
You're right there
Just a little more
Don't
Hurry and do it
Little Brother
You bastard
you won't die painlessly
Shameless
What are you sighing about?
Our one true purpose is to eliminate the Yuan Dynasty
In the end, we have achieved nothing
Millions of our (Han-Chinese) people's lives are at risk
I'm devastated
I...
I cannot bear it
I've said it long ago
If we just rely on ourselves
we won't be able to regain peace for our nation
only if all Heroes of the day unite
and act as one, we may succeed
Remember those years ago
your Senior Brother and my disciples
launched a rebellion
so awesome and magnificent
but then they failed tragically
all because they had no assistance!
Hey Monk
you shouldn't daydream anymore
Right now 6 Grand Sects are trying to kill us
driving us to our deaths
and you're blabering about unifying?
unifying my monkey's fart!
If Cult Chief Yang was still here
he would beat some respect into the 6 sects
as easy as that
There'd be no issues with them obeying us
Reverend Shuobude
Little Brother
Master Shuobude
You're not dead yet?
Master Shuobude
hearing what Elders have said
Ming Cult weren't the evil cult
that the other Sects have said
Contrary, your actions are righteous and heroic
May I ask Elder
what is Ming Cult's moto?
Ming Cult originated from Persia
It entered Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty
the Cult's Motto is
Do good, shun evil; all lives equal
If you have wealth, you must help the poor
Since the Northern Song era
we steal from the rich and give to the poor
and have been persecuted by the local law officials
We oppose the Magistrate
They call us Demonic Cult
and were strict with prohibition
Then why is there animosity with the 6 Sects?
To avoid persecution
we've had to act under secrecy without warning
The Sects then think that we are Demons of the Heretic way
Inevitably, 'tall trees have dry branches'
there are evil members in our Cult
who committed heinous crimes
destroying our Cult's reputation
It appears my Nine Yang Divine Manual
have exerted its power
and healed all my injuries
When the Song Dynasty declined
Ming Cult's role is now to fight the Yuan Rule
Pity that since Cult Chief Yang disappeared
Cult masters have coveted power and control
began killing each other
Some left, some died
Minor factions with the cult
elected their own Chiefs
Ming Cult became divided and scattered
Enmity with the Righteous Sects grew deeper
they've taken opportunity to race up here to punish us
Yuanzhen
have I spoken a single word of half truths?
No, no
You're close to death
Why would you lie?
If you people beg to me
I shall grant you a quick death
I spit on you!
Yuanzhen
there's nothing stinkier than your mouth now
Chop or kill, you go right ahead
don't stand there and blabber
Yuanzhen
you haven't answered my question
how do you know about the secret tunnel?
I've answered you already
Your Chief's wife showed me
I don't believe you
Do you know
how your Chief's wife and I...
are linked?
She is my Junior Sister in my Sect
Yuanzhen
Why can I smell something rotten all of a sudden?
Please don't open your mouth anymore OK?
Since when does Shaolin
accept female disciples?
No matter, your lives are about to finish
I'll tell you to whole truth...
Correct
Shaolin Sect has never accepted female disciples
But then I've never been a Shaolin monk from the beginning
My Junior Sister and I have been together before...
I joined Shaolin School
My name before I was ordained is...
Cheng Kun
the Title: "Universe Origin Thunderbolt Hand"
is actually me
*It turns out he is Cheng Kun*
the one who shattered Godfather's family and life
In my younger years
I was in love with my kungfu Junior Sister.
Our family have known each other for generations.
We were engaged since we were kids.
I knew we would be together our whole lives...
until our hair turns grey
Isn't it pretty?
It's very pretty
A gift for you.
You...
You don't like it?
Junior Sister,
what's the matter?
I can't marry you anymore
What are you talking about?
Ming Cult Chief, Yang Ding Tian
has come and asked for my hand
My father has already agreed...
to give me away to him
But we're already engaged
he already knew that as well
Why would he want to separate us?
Lets run away together
No I can't
I can't...
I know that in the Martial Arts world...
Ming Cult Chief, Yang Ding Tian has higher status
than I, Cheng Kun
But the man you like is me.
You will only be happy if you're with me.
If you marry him
you'll regret it all your life
Senior Brother
Father's decision is made
You should forget me
Yang Ding Tian
Damn you!
I'm sorry
The person who should apologize
is Yang Ding Tian!
He has split us apart
I will kill him!
Senior Brother, don't do it.
Yang Ding Tian is highly skilled at kungfu
you are not his opponent
If you go, you'll be sacrificing your life
I don't care!
Although I can't beat him
I'll fight him to the death!
Senior Brother, I beg you!
If you die
I don't want to live either
Although Junior Sister and I loved each other
opposing your parent's decisions is impossible
and my Junior Sister was married to Yang Ding Tian
But little did I know
That idiot Yang was a kungfu addict
he practised kungfu all day
he didn't care for my Junior Sister
day by day, she became lonely and depressed
so this idiot Yang
kidnapped my love
but totally mistreated her !
If I'd known that he was an irresponsible man
I'd sacrifice my life...
to stop Junior Sister marrying him
Later,
I would meet my Junior Sister again
it must be a secret spot
Ming Cult's secret passage
is sacred and can only be used by Cult Chief
But Yang Ding Tian
couldn't resist Junior Sister's requests
He broke the Cult rules, and allowed her to enter
Ming Cult's Solemn Sanctuary...
for hundreds of years...
My Junior Sister and I...
that is, mine and your Chief's Madame's...
quiet meeting place
You can say
that Yang Ding Tian
has brought me to Bright Peak
Yuanzhen
you despicable thief
Shut up!
Who's the thief?
Why don't incriminate your Cult Chief with this
His love for my Junior was not returned
He also knew that we were lovers and engaged
but he still brazenly stole her away from me
Why do you put all blame on me?
Every part of the secret passage
I've traversed over countless times
Each place still bears memories
of my Junior Sister and me being together
My presence here at Bright Peak today
required no force at all
What are you angry about?
anry about what?
I should be the one who's angry!
Your Cult Chief...
separated my Junior Sister and I
She originally was to be my wife
What grounds did Yang have...
what grounds?
Did he rely on his position as Chief of a Demonic Cult?
Yuanzhen
Shut your dog mouth immediately!
want to blame?
blame your Junior Sister's greedy parents
blame your Junior Sister for being emotionally weak
On what grounds do you dare blame our Cult Chief?
What do you know?
This wife theft debt...
Your Demonic Cult and I
have a deep vengeance to settle
Forty years ago, I have sworn a blood oath
If this Cheng Kun is still breathing
I will kill Yang Ding Tian!
I will destroy you Demonic Cult!
It's been 40 years
I've waited 40 years
The main objective has been accomplished
Yuanzhen
what you're saying is, Chief Yang's disappearance
was your main objective right?
I had hoped that...
I'd be able to strangle Yang Ding Tian with my own hands
After today...
we shouldn't meet anymore
Junior Sister
Why ?
After all, I am Yang Ding Tian's wife
I feel that I am at fault with him
Each time we meet secretly
I feel so ashamed of it
and I can't sleep peacefully because of it
Also...
I can't even look straight into Yang Ding Tian's eyes
Has he said anything to you?
I'll kill him!
No!
I'm at fault with Ding Tian so much
if you harm him then the Heavens are unfair to him
if you kill Ding Tian
then I don't want to live either
Alright Alright Junior Sister
I'll listen to you
You two behaving like that...
you don't feel you're betraying me?
Ding Tian
It's all my fault I accept all punishment for this
I hope you'll pardon Senior Brother
Junior Sister
What are you doing? Yang Ding Tian
Junior Sister and I truly love each other
If you're truly a Righteous man
then fulfill our wish
let us be together
I married you...
but was unable to win your heart
Ding Tian
What's wrong?
Ding Tian!
Ding Tian
What's the matter?
Ding Tian
I think he's been learning his Cult's ultimate kungfu
his 'Chi' flow has changed
Ding Tian,
it's all my fault
I've harmed you
Junior Sister
It's not your fault
Ding Tian
he trained too hard and 'Chi Deviated' (internally caught fire and possessed demons)
Let's leave
It's due to him discovering our secret meeting
he was in shock
leading to Chi Deviation and death
Ding Tian
Ding Tian!
Life-death is predestined
we are not to blame
It's better that he's dead
No one can interfere with us anymore
Junior Sister
Why ?
Junior Sister
Why?...
I have Junior Sister's heart
But not her "self" (as in her body)
Not only you didn't have her
But you also did not get "Heaven & Earth Great Shift" kungfu
Am I right ?
Messenger Yang
didn't you use Heaven & Earth Great Shift kungfu just before?
you couldn't have learnt it right?
I was fortunate to have Cult Chief's care
he taught me a little of it
I trained for 10 years
and attained its 2nd stage It's that tough to cultivate?
Our Cult Chief's kungfu is superb
he surely has complete it whole
No
Chief Yang has achieved up stage 4
Previous Chiefs before him
only the Eight generation Chief
managed to get to the 5th stage out of 7 stages
it appears that this kungfu is so difficult to master
Junior Sister is the my most beloved person in my life
if it wasn't for Yang Ding Tian
getting involved
my relationship with Junior Sister
would not have concluded so tragically
Although Yang Ding Tian is dead
his Demonic Cult was still active in the martial arts world
Holding Junior Sister's corpse
I made an oath
I'll use all my force
to destroy your Demonic Cult
From that day
I never stopped planning
to destroy your Demonic Cult
This Cheng Kun's life is unfortunate
had an outsider kidnap his love
Even my most trusted disciple
became a ranking member of Ming Cult
Xie Xun
Correct
After I left Bright Peak back then
I returned to Central Plains
met up with my disciple
Xie Xun
I wanted to ask him
to help plan and destroy Ming Cult
But before I could even say a word, he said
He had been promoted
one of the Four Guardian Kings of Ming Cult
One year, at the foot of Bright Peak
all I could think of
was my Junior Sister
I never thought much
about Ming Cult's purpose
Junior Sister never talked about Ming Cult's operations
And about my treasured disciple Xie Xun
I knew he had some status and ranking in the Cult
But it wasn't until he told me that I knew (about being a Guardian King)
Even more maddening was
he actually advised me to join Ming Cult,
saying to unite together
to overthrow the Yuan dynasty!
I couldn't take it anymore!
My blood boiled in veins
and I wanted so badly to strike him to death!
But afterwards, I calmed down and thought,
Your Ming Cult is spread far and wide, with deeply loyal followers,
and innumerable highly-skilled warriors.
By myself, there's no way I can defeat you.
So the only way
is to create dissent within your cult
and let you kill each other!
Looking at my favored disciple [Xie Xun],
a plan entered my head.
This disciple of mine is perfect in every way.
He excels in both the martial and the literary arts.
His only flaw
is his temper.
He is impulsive.
So,
that night,
under the guise of drunkenness,
Don't cry--
Elder,
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Help me!
Chen Kun!
You beast!
Don't come over, father!
Husband!
Chen Kun!
You beast!
Let go of her!
Don't come nearer!
Please, I beg you! Stay away!
Don't come nearer!
Child,
don't cry.
Child...
Elder, please, I beg you!
He's just a child! Please let him live!
I beg you! Please let him live!
Let my child off!
Yuan Zhen, ah, Yuan Zhen...
You're worse than an animal!
Xie Xun,
When he found out what had happened,
I knew he would hate me beyond measure.
He would seek me out for revenge
and if he couldn't find me,
he would definitely go on a rampage and not care about the consequences! As I predicted,
in his grief,
he began to slaughter heroes everywhere.
He left my name at the scenes of his misdeeds
all the for the sake of forcing me out of hiding!
He killed wherever he went
and inevitably ran into trouble sometimes.
I would secretly help him out.
He was my killing tool, after all, so how could I let him die like that?
I even helped him
to injure the Five Elders of Kongtong
and wrest from them the Seven Harms Fist manual.
Atop Mount Wangpan,
he injured and killed so many good men and women from various sects.
He even killed Master Kongjian of Shaolin Temple.
All of that was my plan.
This is divine retribution...
It's divine retribution!
All of the hatred and grudge caused by his actions
are now all visited upon your heads!
It's fantastic!
Good disciple,
good disciple!
It hasn't been a waste of all my efforts
to impart to him a great set of skills!
Yuan Zhen...
For doing such atrocious and insane deeds,
you will definitely receive your comeuppance!
You disgust me.
Today--
Yang!
I will kill you first!
